Local guide
About Whitechapel
Whitechapel has a diverse and colourful ethnic makeup. The area was the centre of the London Jewish community in the 19th century, and was the infamous site of the Jack the Ripper murders in the 1880's. More recently it has become home to a large British Bangladeshi community leading to it's nickname as Banglatown. Take a walk down Brick Lane to get a flavour of this ethnic diversity with numerous curry houses and bagel shops to dive into.
